How should Christians respond to criticism, gossip, and careless words spoken about them? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on Ecclesiastes 7:21–22 and the wisdom of guarding our hearts from unnecessary offense. Drawing from the counsel of Charles Spurgeon, Pastor Philip reminds us that faithful Christian living often requires “a blind eye and a deaf ear” when it comes to the chatter and criticism of others.

Scripture teaches that in a fallen world, people will sin with their tongues. And paying too much attention to every comment or rumor can easily distract us from the work God has given us to do. Instead, believers are called to respond with humility and grace, remembering our own imperfections while refusing to harbor resentment. By learning to overlook minor offenses and keep our focus on God’s calling, we can protect our peace and serve Christ more faithfully.
